In sizing up the vote on the miners
lien law it is to be noted that the al
lalfa counties cast an almost solid vote
in favor of that measure and that the
mining counties were almost equally
divided on the subject Had the law
applied to farms and po sessury rights
few votes would have been cast for it
in Maricopa Yuma and the other
farming counties of the State With
them it is anything that may strike at
the mining interests

Odd Fellows Dedication
Wednesday evening November 27
the local lodge of Odd Fellows will
celebrate the completion of their new
building by a reception and ball to
which everybody is invited The oc
casion will be marked by the initia
tion of twenty new members of the or
der No one should overlook this
function as it will be one of the mem
orable events of the xear
The railroads of Arizona have indi
vidually iiled bills against the initia
tion of the three cent fare law setting
up various reasons why it should not
be put in effect One of the cogent
reasons is that the Secretary of Slate
failed to publish the law or af least
the text of the law in a newspaper in
each of the fourteen counties of the
State at least sixty days prior to the
election This is one of the funda
mental requirements of the constitu
tion which was reinforced by the law
making body of the State by a law re
quiring the Secretary to send out
pamphletts to the voters giving each
referendum measure at least sixty
days prior to the election Of course
this part of the law is impossible of
execution there yet remaining foty
days of registration open to voters and
it would be impossible for the Secre
tary to place these laws in the hands
of those voters whose names went
upon the register after the sixty days
Many other reasons are given by the
railroads why the law should not be
put in effect but the above is really
the only one that has any merit As
the Corporation Commission is the
arbiter of the law after all we can
not see why the railroads do not make
the attack on tiie promulgation of the
law before that body
Last Saturday afternoon Tom Lee a
well known Chinaman fell from an
auto truck a few miles west of Union
Station the wheels of the truck pas
sing over his body and causing injuries
from which he died during the night
Lee was riding on the top of a load
and the lurching of the car evidently
threw him off and the rebound caught
hi it under the bind wheel His suf
fering was intense until death reliev
ed him An inquest was held on the
body Monday and the jury found that
death was accidental and no one was
to blame Tom Lee had been a resi
dent of the United States 41 years and
had lived in this county a long time
He was a big hearted fellow and had
many friends among the white men
who will regret to learn of his death
A large delegation of interested
people have been before the Secretary
of the Interior on a hearing of the
matter of conservating the flood waters
of the Colorado river and the making
of that stream navigable all the year
round between the different dams on
the lower river The purpose of the
meeting with the Secretary of the
Interior was to place before him the
necessity of congressional action in
the matter which predecates the
building of large storage reservoirs
along Green river and other tribu
taries of the Colorado as well as on
the main river in the Grand Canyon
By Building great dams in the canyons
of the Green and Grand rivers in the
Grand Canyon it is believed that fu
ture ravages by flood along the lower
river would be either modified or en
tirely prevented The conserved
waters would be allowed to pass off at
low stage of water during the summer
and fall months thereby giving the
farmers the benefit of a surplus of
water during the months when ttie
waters of the river are at low ebb
To do this work fully 100000S would
be necessary and it is probable that
congress would take the matter up
seriously without detailed reports by
the ergineers of the geological sur
vey
Jack Maddux and C R Granger

Has Arizona a Can
vassing Board
The Phenix Democrat has been ham
mering away at an exposition of what
it terms the law and the opinions of
leading lawyers on the subject of
the returns from the late election
taking the view that in consequence of
the opinion of the Supreme Court of
Arizona no canvass of the returns of
the election can be had
But the enactment of a law calling
a general election on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November
1912 and every two years thereafter
lie provision relating to the election
of Slate county and precinct officers
of which the supreme court declared
unconstitutional has another provision
which was left untouched by the Su
preme Court and that was section 7 of
the act which reads af follows
If any of the foregoing sections
shall be held to be unconstitutional
the validity of the remaining sections
shall not be affected thereby
Section 4 of the act provides the
method and manner of canvassing thel
vole cast for state officers and presi 1
denlial electors and congressmen
After the various board of supervisors
have canvassed the vote in their re
spective counties the totals are certi
fied to the Secretary of State and on
the first Monday in December the r
Governor Secretary of State and I
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court j
meet at the Capitol and canvass the
vote and upon the completion of the j
canvass the governor will issue a cer
tificate of election to the successful can
didates
In the matter of the vote cast for
amendments to the constitution and
referendum measures the supervisors
eertiy the result to he Secretary of
Slate and that official totals the votes
and certifies to the governor who
issues his proclamation declaring the
result
To the layman it would look as
though there was no ground whatever
to the contention that Arizona has no
law covering the canvassing of the
vote cast at the recent election and
the declaring of the result
Elks Memorial Services
The local lodge of Elks will properly
observe the Day of Sorrow on the first

thousands of tons of ore monthly and
